You may know Ohio Valley Goodwill as the place to donate clothes in Cincinnati. But have you ever stopped to consider the difference your donations make? Donating gently-used clothes to Goodwill is a win-win for you and your community! Here’s why:
Donating your clothing to Goodwill means someone in your community can buy quality clothes at everyday low prices. Your donation might allow a mother to buy her child a warm coat, or find the right outfit for a job interview. It’s empowering for families with limited income to be able to shop for the things they need. Your donations make that possible!
Your Donations Make a Difference!
Every item you see in your local Goodwill store could have ended up in a landfill. But because they were donated, they’re about to be used and loved again! We’ve all been taught the slogan, ” reduce, re-use, recycle.” Donating to Goodwill is the best way to live up to those words. Most clothing today is made out of synthetic materials, which can take hundreds of years to fully break down. Manufacturing new clothes also takes large amounts of water. So, when you donate and shop second-hand at Goodwill, you’re doing your part to keep clothes out of the landfill and protect our planet for years to come.
Want to give yourself an instant sense of calm? Organize! Cleaning out the cluttered corners of your home will make you feel refreshed and ready to take on the world. Drag those storage boxes out of your stuffed closets, attic spaces, and garage shelves and donate anything you no longer want, use, or need to Goodwill. We gladly accept clothing, accessories, and more all year round, including seasonal items like Halloween costumes. You’ll have a cleaner, more organized home, and you’ll help Goodwill change lives in your community!
Goodwill transforms your generous donations into job skills training and employment services for neighbors in need. Through Goodwill’s services and programs, people with disabilities and other barriers are given the opportunity to learn the skills they need to start and grow a career, and live a fulfilled life. When our neighbors have opportunity, our entire community thrives.
